There is a free "Future Runner (Elf in Stroller)" category; strollers and passengers must be registered and must be accompanied (pushed) by a participant entered in a different sub-event. Kit pickup takes place at Runners' Choice on the two days before the run. Registration fees vary by entry type and registration period. Refunds are not available; deferrals and transfers are described in the registration waiver. Limited spots are available for each entry type.
